Palin played the last five seasons with the Calgary Flamesí AHL affiliates in Omaha (2005-07), Quad City (2007-09) and Abbotsford (2009-10). He doesn't hit the score sheet too often, with just 43 points (6G, 37A) in 287 games, but he does have 242 PIMs over that stretch. The Preds have a well-stocked defense corps heading into next season, so it may be awhile before we see Palin at the NHL level.
